(Bethlehem, Pa.) – The Dickinson football team battled to the end, but suffered its first Centennial Conference loss, falling at Moravian College 21-13, on Saturday.

The Red Devils turned the ball over on the second play of the game as Moravian intercepted sophomore starter Cole Ahnell (Rockville, Md./Walter Johnson) on the 30 yard line. The Devils regained possession almost immediately as the Devils sacked quarterback Jimmy Lahue and Nate Detwiler (Hollidaysburg, Pa./Hollidaysburg) recovered a fumble forced by senior co-captain Schuyler Simpson (Potomac, Md./Bullis)

Neither offense could move into field-goal range in the first quarter. The Greyhounds opened the second by pinning the Devils on their own five yard line with a great punt by Tyler Thompson. Moravian forced and recovered a fumble on the one yard line. Two plays later they punched it in to take a 7-0 lead at the 13:34 mark.

The Red Devils evened the score one a double-pass as Ahnell hit wide receiver Eric Ondo (Richland, Pa./ELCO), who tossed a 23-yard touchdown pass to senior Matt Wood (Baltimore, Md./Perry Hall) with 3:07 to play in the first half.

Joe Tegan broke free for a 54 yard touchdown on third-and-short, scoring on their first possession of the second half at the 12:19 mark.

The Devil defense came up with a huge stand, forcing a turnover on fourth-and-one as junior co-captain Michael Miller (Hainesport, N.J./Bishop Eustace) and Detwiler made the stop behind the line of scrimmage to give the Devils the ball on their own 24 yard line.

The Red Devils capitalized with a field-goal as sophomore Adam Kaminski (Exton, Pa./Bishop Shanahan) split the uprights from 35 yards out to pull Dickinson within 14-10 as the third quarter came to a close.

The Greyhounds wasted little time responding, scoring on the fourth play of the ensuing drive on a great play-action pass. Lahue connected with Jason Fuehring for a 32 yard touchdown to stretch the lead to 20-10.

Kaminski hit again, from 21 yards to make it a one possession game, 21-13, with 8:51 remaining in the game.

The defense held one last time, forcing Moravian to punt the ball back to Dickinson for a final drive. A sack made it fourth-and-11, putting the game on the next play. The ball was knocked to the ground and Moravian took over to run out the clock.

Wood finished with four catches for 87 yards while Greg Capozza (Spotsylvania, Va./Riverbend) covered 58 yards on two receptions. Ondo and Colin Rodgers (Jamison, Pa./St. Joe's Prep) each made four catches as well.

Simpsonanchored another outstanding defensive effort, recording 10 tackles, a pair of sacks and forced fumble. Walker Moriarty (Snowmass Village, Colo./Aspen) also had a pair of sacks and a forced fumble, adding six tackles.

The Devils suffer their first conference loss, slipping to 2-1 in the Centennial and 2-2 overall. They return to Biddle Field for Homecoming next weekend, hosting Franklin & Marshall on Saturday at 1:00 pm in the Conestoga Wagon Trophy game.
